So, Last time we were there, one of the locals told us that there was a 12% grocery tax which pays for everyone's healthcare, and after you had lived there for a year, it included expats. Can you verify this? Thanks again for you help. Also, which banks would you recommend?
The tax is a sales tax on food and beverages. I don't know what it covers specifically but I really doubt 100% goes to healthcare. I also have never heard that expats get the healthcare free. It is so inexpensive though that we never think to ask.
